it's a re-creation of the imperial egypt, or the pharaohnic egypt if you want to use a cliche. egypt wants to play that role and has been trying to play that role unsuccessfully with respect to syria and trying to recapture in diplomacy what the revolution did recapture in the arab popular imagination. so this is a place where u.s. interests, morsi and israeli interests, because you have some of the israeli right who say great, let's make gaza egypt's problem forever. so there's a funny way that everybody's power dynamic goes the same way here. >> of course, the big dissenter are the people in the streets of tahrir square. >> this goes back to your putin question and what i thought of, the point is morsi is putin, he's not stalin. so this isn't mubarak. we're not going to back to mubarak, but we're not proceeding to british style constitutional style democracy and american policy will have to juggle both things. >> number one, i thought it was inevitable and saturday before last, i predicted that egypt would play this role, because everybody would need egypt to play this role a

what role can egypt play, and what do you think the chances for a truce? >> we're interested in a real solution and not in a band-aid solution. if we get quiet tomorrow but a week from now, a month from now we just get more rockets on our civilian population that's not an option. we don't want a quick fix that doesn't really work. we're interested in bringing about sustained, permanent, quiet and peace to our people in the south. we think that's actually in the interests of the people of gaza as well. and the problem is hamas, which are very extreme and very violent. just last night they shot a missile at jerusalem. i mean, that is something that hasn't been done. and jerusalem, when the sirens go off those sirens go off in arab neighborhoods and jewish neighborhoods. in the end, the missile overshot jerusalem, landed in the west bank. they could have killed palestinians. but they don't care. hamas has no respect for common human decency. that's who they are. it's very important. what we're doing now is to disarm them. >> all right. mark regev, i want to t
